Why now

Everlane's $100M acquisition by Shein (BoF, May 18-22) is dominating fashion news at AI relevance 85 and a 1,247-upvote Reddit thread is actively seeking alternatives — this is the highest-signal moment to define what IN/TL's transparency actually means in concrete terms.

Visual direction

Slide 1: White text on off-white background — 'Everlane called it radical transparency. Here is what that phrase actually requires.' Slides 2–6: Each is a single bold typographic card in the IN/TL visual system (muted off-white, thin sans-serif, no decoration) stating each transparency spec with the exact data point. Slide 6: QR code mockup on a hang tag photographed in natural studio light.
